Friends of Fishtown:
Last Friday, June 18th, our great friend and neighbor Joan "Joanie" Righter passed away at the age of 84. She loved talking to people and always wanted to help. She was the go-to person for everything on our block and she was a huge help at the store. She had a key and would let vendors in if we weren't here early (she was up at 5am everyday). She'd run to the bank for us to get coin change and there was nothing we couldn't ask her for, she would always want to help. Joanie was strong, tough, and independent. She would go for her nightly walk around the block no matter how hot or cold it was outside. Most of all, she loved people and getting to know them. She was truly one of a kind, and we were very lucky to have been her friend. Joanie, we love you and miss you. You will forever be the Mayor of Gordon Street.
Please forward this or share this to let all of her friends in the neighborhood know. Thanks. There is a visitation and remembrance at McBride's Funeral Home on Cumberland St. Thrusday, June 24, 6-8PM.
Share Memories & Support the Family.
